Hardcover. Boston, Houghton Mifflin , 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Non-paginated. Illustrated with full color woodcuts by Mary Azarian. SIGNED BY AZARIAN. Clean, tight copy. Revealing the variety of life underground, the bright comfort of a greenhouse on a winter's day, or the anticipation of starting seeds indoors in early spring, this striking alphabet book celebrates the simple joys of gardening. Without neglecting the frustrations--the nibbling critters and the toil--or wry, humorous moments spent in the garden. Mary Azarian's spare words and lovely woodcuts capture the essence of turning a bare plot of ground into fragrant flowers and lush vegetables and trees. Her depictions of insects, manure, and compost piles are as delightful as her fountains, pumpkins, and Queen Anne's lace. Whether we are young or old, our gardens both exhaust and renew us. They are our source of magic and wonder and perhaps our best way to live closer to the land and to the rhythm of the seasons.

NY, Viking Press, 1st, 1976, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover with a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Color and black & white illustrations by Kate Greenaway. Clean copy. A new era in the history of children's books began in 1878 when Kate Greenaway's first book of pictures and verse, Under the Window, was published. This was followed by her Birthday Book, A Day in a Child's Life, Mother Goose, Little Ann, Language of Flowers, and Marigold Garden. These and the many other enchanting volumes she illustrated, gained her a devoted worldwide audience of all ages. Today's great revival of interest in Kate Greenaway's work is understandable; as an illustrator of childhood she had no equal in her day, nor has she had since. The Kate Greenaway Book contains a short biography and selections from her best-known as well as little-known works: a collection of texts and pictures, some never even published before, charmingly arranged for readers of all ages to enjoy.
